More than two hours later, the plane landed. Lu Yiwei carried his suitcase and ran all the way behind him. He inadvertently glanced around. In the first-class cabin, there were many "secretaries" like him. After the group of people compared each other, they all smiled at the same time.
Not far away, a few cars drove directly to the entrance of the plane. After a while, a familiar face that was often seen on TV got out of the car and quickly boarded the plane under the escort of a group of strong men in suits. This was the first time Lu Yiwei had seen the Bureau Chief up close.
Walking out of the VIP passageway, the other leaders directly got into the Mercedes-Benz and BMW luxury cars and drove away. Lu Yiwei and Zhang Zhiyuan had no choice but to take a taxi to the designated location.
While waiting for the taxi, Lu Yiwei said carefully, "Boss, look at the people who picked us up just now. They are all people from the Beijing Office set up in Beijing. They are all very arrogant. In fact, our Nanyang County should also set up one to facilitate business trips. The neighboring county, Guchuan County, is an agricultural county. As early as two years ago, there was already a Beijing Office, not to mention Maping County. It is said that they bought a piece of land in Beijing and built a building specifically to serve the leaders. The leaders of the city all stay there when they come to Beijing. Now, it seems that only our Nanyang County and Fengchuan County have one."
Zhang Zhiyuan's face was solemn. He neither agreed nor disagreed with Lu Yiwei's suggestion. He said, "Your suggestion is very good, but according to the financial resources of Nanyang County, it is indeed a bit difficult to support such a Beijing Office. Let's talk about it when we get back." As they spoke, the taxi arrived. They stopped talking and got into the taxi.
The standard of Zhang Zhiyuan's class reunion surprised Lu Yiwei. He directly chose to hold the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. As a place where the leaders received foreign guests, it was probably difficult to even take a look at it, let alone eat. At that time, although part of the guesthouse was open to the public, it was only for the public and not for individuals. For the public, it also depended on the unit you were from. If you said you were from so-and-so province or so-and-so county, you probably wouldn't even be allowed to enter the door. Under normal circumstances, it was used for high-level units to hold meetings. Zhang Zhiyuan's class reunion was held here, which showed how powerful his classmates were.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei handed a set of casual clothes to Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Boss, I won't be following you up. This is a set of casual clothes and some daily necessities for you to attend informal banquets. In addition, "Lu Yiwei took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over. He continued," There's more than one million yuan in the card. The password is on the back of the card. I'll find a hotel nearby. If you need anything, call me at any time. I promise I'll be there at your beck and call. "
After listening to Lu Yiwei's detailed arrangements, Zhang Zhiyuan had already swept away the unhappiness in the morning. He took the things and nodded, "Alright! If there's nothing else, I won't look for you. It wasn't easy for me to come to the capital. Let's go out and have a look. I'll contact you tomorrow morning. "
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Boss, I'll go first. Let me know if you need anything."
After watching Zhang Zhiyuan enter the state guesthouse, Lu Yiwei finally left with a peace of mind.
He had been to the capital more than once or twice. When he was Chu Yunchi's secretary, he had been to the capital countless times a year. But most of the time, he came and went in a hurry. Even if he had the time to browse around, he would only take a cursory glance at the flowers on horseback, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, and take a few pictures to show that he had been there. However, he couldn't remember anything.
Today was great. He had a lot of free time, but Lu Yiwei didn't know where to go. When he was a child, the place he yearned for the most was Tiananmen Square. Should he go back to the old place? He quickly rejected the idea.
Walking along Sanlihe Street to Fuchengmen Street, Lu Yiwei stopped a taxi and asked, "Sir, where are the fun places to go in the capital?"
The driver looked at Lu Yiwei up and down and said, "Hey, young man! Do you have a girlfriend? "
Lu Yiwei shrugged and said, "Alone."
"Go to Houhai. There are a lot of bars there. I'm sure you'll like it!"
"Okay!"
…
The next morning, Lu Yiwei got up at five o 'clock and arrived at the gate of the state guesthouse at 5: 30 sharp. After a while, Zhang Zhiyuan came down with big and small bags. Lu Yiwei took the things, called a taxi and went straight to the airport.
On the way, Zhang Zhiyuan was in a good mood and asked Lu Yiwei, "Where did you go yesterday?"
Lu Yiwei was a little embarrassed and said, "I went to a bar and sat for a night. I didn't have much fun, so I came back to sleep."
"Haha …" Zhang Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Didn't they say that there are a lot of beautiful women there? You handsome guy, didn't you hit on one? "
Zhang Zhiyuan actually made a joke. Lu Yiwei was a little not used to it, so he also joked, "I hit on them, but they ignored me. They must be from a small place."
"Haha …"
Everything went smoothly. They ate something at the airport, boarded the plane on time, and flew directly to Tsingtao. This time, the treatment was much better than in Beijing. At least there was a car to pick them up. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw Bai Yuxin waving at Zhang Zhiyuan and the others.
"Yo!" Zhang Zhiyuan said in surprise, "When did you buy a Mercedes Benz?"
Bai Yuxin was wearing sunglasses and said with a smile, "I couldn't afford it. I borrowed it from someone else. Get in the car!"
It was the golden autumn of October. In the far west of Xijiang Province, the autumn wind was rustling, and the leaves were falling. But this lively and romantic modern coastal city was especially pleasant in autumn. Every time they went to a place, Lu Yiwei would always sigh, "How nice it would be if I could live here." Compared to Nanyang County, which was not even as big as a small town in the south, it was a world of difference. Walking on the street, no matter how fashionable you were, people would be able to recognize you at a glance. Clothes and decorations could sometimes cover up external things, but the essence could not be hidden. It would take a long time to adapt to change.
The car sped along the coastline. On the side of the road, there were buildings of some provincial cadre sanatorium, some provincial cadre staff training center, and some military rehabilitation center. Moreover, each building was bigger and more luxurious than the last. It was enviable.
As the name suggested, sanatoriums were places for patients to recuperate. The patients were naturally patients, but not everyone could come here. It was mainly for old cadres, people in special industries, and special service personnel. Old cadres were easy to understand. Those who had retired from a certain rank were naturally eligible to enjoy this treatment. In other words, leaders with chronic diseases could also come here to recuperate. People in special industries referred to workers in coal, petroleum, chemical, and other industries who were prone to chronic diseases, while special service personnel referred to the army. There was no need to elaborate further.
It was good to have the idea, but the reality was very cruel. Sanatoriums were not a place you could come to just because you wanted to. You said you were an old cadre and sick. There were many old cadre, and you could just catch a few and take your medicine. You said you were a coal worker with silicosis, and you applied to recuperate. Come on! Then go and cool off and stay there! They consciously took their seats. Over time, sanatoriums became a good place for some leaders to travel, vacation, and health care.
After careful comparison, it was actually the same principle as the Beijing Office. However, the Beijing Office mostly provided official services, while the sanatoriums focused more on entertainment and leisure. In addition to serving the leaders, it also became a "private club" for some relatives of some leaders.
Lu Yiwei saw the sign "Xijiang Province Coal Workers Sanatoriums" early in the morning and secretly sighed at the place. There was a beach less than a few hundred meters away from the entrance, and there was a shallow bay nearby. It was a level higher than the sanatoriums in other places.
The car quickly entered the courtyard, and what came into sight made Lu Yiwei dumbfounded. The independent villas were connected by small gardens. The pine and cypress trees were verdant, and the flowers were fragrant. There was no shadow of autumn, but it seemed like spring had just arrived. Further ahead, there was an open-air swimming pool, basketball court, tennis court, and so on. It had everything you could think of. It was like a small kingdom.
The car slowly stopped, and Bai Yuxin pointed at a rather luxurious villa and said, "We're here!"
After getting out of the car, they walked in with great curiosity. They saw Guo Jinzhu chatting with Tan Lao on the sofa, and Tan Lao's complexion was ruddy, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Lu Yiwei really envied Tan Lao, who lived the life of a migratory bird. He had a foothold everywhere, and he was satisfied to have reached this level.
"Zhiyuan, you're here!" Tan Lao was wearing a Zhongshan suit, and he was sitting upright. His aura was very strong, and before they got close, they could feel the cold and intimidating air.
Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly went up to greet him, "Tan Lao, I heard that you're not feeling well, and I've been worried about you for the past two days. Are you alright?"
"What could be wrong? It's the same old illness, don't listen to Yuxin's nonsense! "As he spoke, Tan Lao glared at Bai Yuxin. It was not a look of disgust, but a kind one.
Bai Yuxin stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and then made a face at Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "It's our fortune that you're healthy. Seeing you healthy is better than anything else!"
"Sigh," Tan Lao sighed, and said sadly, "I'm old, and I'm useless. I'm annoying people everywhere I go. Only you guys still treat me as a person. In the eyes of others, I, the Tan Liangnian, am not even worth a fart! "
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Bai Yuxin for her opinion, and Bai Yuxin continued, "Tan Lao, please don't overthink it. You're a person of virtue and prestige in our hearts, and in the eyes of others, you're even more respectful. Who knows how many people want to get close to you. Just like what Zhiyuan said, it's our fortune that you appreciate and cherish us. "
Guo Jinzhu also added, "Tan Lao, I see that you've been tired for the past two days. Why don't I bring you to Hainan to relax?"
"Why are we going to Hainan? How is it different from Qingdao! "Tan Lao thought and said," Indeed, there's no one to talk to here, so I might as well go back. My old home is better, and I'm not used to this place! There's seafood every day, and I can't even eat noodles. "
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately said, "Tan Lao, look! I've brought Yiwei to you as well. You're in for a treat this afternoon, haha! "
Tan Lao looked at Lu Yiwei and threw a childish tantrum, "Yiwei, I've already ordered. I must have noodles for lunch today."
